Brief Summary:
Tuberculosis (TB) infects nearly two billion people and has become the leading infectious cause of mortality worldwide, due in part to inadequate diagnostic and prognostic tests. Older diagnostic tools, such as acid-fast staining, and newer diagnostic tests, such as nucleic acid amplification, are either insensitive, expensive, or not suitable for use at the clinical point-of-care. Therefore, novel diagnostic tests are needed to diagnose active TB disease among adults, people living with HIV (PLHIV), and children in TB-endemic countries. In this project, the investigators will conduct clinical evaluation studies of emerging TB diagnostic tests among (1) hospitalized adults, (2) ambulatory adults in outpatient clinics, and (3) children \<12 years suspected of having active TB disease. the investigators will also maintain a biorepository of well-characterized clinical specimens that can be used for either retrospective validation of TB diagnostic tests, establishing a reference LAM test, or to share with partners developing novel TB diagnostics, including new LAM antibodies. The project will be coordinated at the University of Washington, and conducted in partnership with clinical research partners in South Africa, including Umkhuseli Innovation and Research Management (UIRM) and the National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS). The project team is well-equipped to serve as a central clinical research site to evaluate new and emerging point-of-care TB diagnostics, particularly novel urinary LAM assays, at the on-site TB Diagnostics Research Laboratory at Edendale Hospital in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
